How cool is that!!   Top it off, we have once again been able to celebrate with a parade and fireworks in the evening.  Oh my goodness, it had been so long!!

 

The day was an emotional time for me.  It was a time that brought so many memories.   Memories of parades that I have attended here, with many many changes. 

 

The growth of our community has created some those changes.  However, the faces of those I have been blessed to celebrate with has majorly changed, not only in our aging but also in presence.  These changes and to finally be able to celebrate this way again has made this time for me, to be a bittersweet, exciting and emotional experience.

 

What hasn't changed though, is the wonderful drawing together it had for our community.  It had been three years since we had all been able to come together to celebrate like this.  The excitement was heightened because of this.  It seemed like we were all buzzing.

 

I can fully say this day brought me so much joy.   Being surrounded by the sounds of happy and excited people.  Sharing this time with some of my family, an unexpected gifted.  The weather was perfect.  Once again being able go for the evening walk to watch the fireworks then back home again amongst the throng of happy revelers.

 

Thinking about it even now, I feel a teary-eyed joy.  

 

Oh!!  Let's not forget, there is another celebration coming up and that is the 4th of July for the U.S.  Sadly, I won't personally be able to be a part of it, but my U.S. family will be and they are very much of my heart.

 

I would love to hear how you enjoy celebrating and spending your week.

 

 

If you are willing to share, what have you experienced that brings you that teary-eyed joy?

 

 

 

Love and blessings,
